BRISBANE

The Brisbane Max Adventure Race is located only a stone’s throw from the CBD of Brisbane at Enoggera Reservoir, The Gap and offers everything an adventure racer could hope for. This stunning heritage listed area is a haven for outdoor activities including open water swimming, paddling and much more which makes this event a family friendly day out.

The Classic course features some fast mountain biking around the outside of the Reservoir, with a few short steep climbs included to keep your heart rate up. The trail running along the water’s edge is nice and flat, with water views around every corner. The Classic Course includes approximately 15-25km of mountain biking, 5-10km of trail running and 2-4km of kayaking and will take most teams 3-6 hours to complete.

If you are new to the sport, or just don’t feel like doing the extra distance that comes with the Classic course, then the Novice course is for you. The Novice course takes in the best aspects of the Classic course but not quite as many hills! Riding and running alongside the Reservoir and hitting the water for a cooling paddle. The Novice Course consists of approximately 5-15km of mountain biking, 3-5km of trail running and 1-2km of kayaking. Novice teams generally finish in 2-4 hours.

The Kids Course will involve trail running, mountain biking and kayaking legs with simple navigation. There will be approximately 1-2km of running and 2-4km of biking and 500m of kayaking. The Kids Course will be marked with arrows to help guide our young adventurers to the checkpoints. However, keeping in the spirit of Adventure Racing some map reading is required. Parent/Guardians are encouraged to join their kids on the course to help with this.

Enoggera Reservoir really is an ideal location for a real weekend adventure for teams in the Brisbane area or those travelling up from the Gold Coast or down from the Sunshine Coast. We’ve got you covered with kayaks provided for all courses and bike hire available if required.

The event schedule will be finalised in the official event program released two weeks before race day on this website.
